Frustrated & don't know where to turn

05-15-2018, 02:31 PM

So My husband went to SAFP in Texas December 12,2017. He's been receiving and signing his progress reports (which he is doing very well). He had his TTC hearing and typically they send that to people who randomly selected who will get 4-C instead of having to go to a half way house. Well his TTC hearing was 2 months ago. He stayed he got his discharge paperwork 2 weeks ago and that it stated 4-C recommended and he now has less than 30 days left until his projected release date. Now here is where I'm frustrated..... The counselors ask for family support for family education classes and to help in their sobriety, etc. I have called 4 different Dept. 1 says yes he projected to be released in June, one says we havent received anything from the unit, 1 says we'll even if I know the information I can't tell you because it's confidential , another one says he has to tell you we can't. So I cannot get any information on a release date, if 4 -c was approved or is he going to have to go to a halfway house if so how long will the wait be for a bed. From my understanding what I read in the handbook is there will be a field probation officer checking out our home within 14 days of his release to verify the address andake sure it is suitable to probate put to. But my question is this.... How do you expect an inmate battling addiction to have a support system but yet you cannot discuss anything with the support system about the processes and if he's been approved? I'm thrown for a loop today and now I am ticked off because trying to find out any information is like trying to find Waldo in a Where's Waldo book. Am I the only one who gets frustrated in types of situations like this? Please can anyone tell me who to call or what I can inquire about so that I can get some clarification. THANKS A BUNCH

I have called the parole line and they stated that his parole date has already been expired. Now they have a set off date of 6-27. He still has no answer if he going to a HWH or getting 4 C. I am just about ready to give up searching and just wait. It's so disappointing to not know anything. He had to go to SAFPF as a condition of his probation and don't her me wrong SAFP has helped him tremendously so far. I just feel it's unfair to us out here who want to help and we cannot receipt any sort of information. I will keep you all updated as soon as I find out more information. Thank you for your help. 😃

He isn't on parole any longer. When I spoke with the BPP they also told me his parole expired 01/2018. He is now on probation. He told me that the paper he has says his projected release is 06/27. He is going to write his counselor to see if he can find out anything. I'm just ready for him to be home.
